Advice

Look at the map and devise an itinerary that moves you from far to near. Start the day away. End the day closer to home.

Big breakfast; carbohydrates and proteins.

Drink plenty of water. Repeat.

Work out, go for a walk, or otherwise get some exercise after breakfast. That will get your metabolism cooking.

Start early. Be at your first destination when the doors open at noon.

Bring water and stay hydrated between stops.

Drink plenty of water. Repeat.

Snacks. Lots of snacks.

Growlers. You never know what you might run into so it is always a good idea to have a growler or two with you, especially considering the next piece of advice.

Designate a driver. Buy your DD dinner at the end of the night. Fill a couple of growlers for them along the way. Incentivize the adventure for your driver.
